So, at least I managed a little sleep last night, all of it about about 1:30 a.m. (when I woke the night before). I was awake at 5, though, and I was writing by 6 a.m. Oh, wait, the damn weather. Cooler still today. It would have been great chalk gully weather. We made 89F, but it was overcast and there was a cool breeze. Autumn is coming fast, and ( Read more... )

Rainy all day, miserable weather, but at least we have not had anything like the apocalyptic wind that has been visited upon Houston. Our high was only 73F.

Today I bucked the depression enough to read through what's been written thus far on The Sun Always Shines On TV, and I can at least report I am relieved that it does not suck ( Read more... )

It's safe the say the last gasp of summer has come and gone. Not a hint of the sun today, rain, and our high was 55F.

I felt it in my bones all day long.

Last night at 11 p.m., I began working on the sixth interlude for The Night Watchers. I worked an hour, managing only one paragraphed, and realized it just wasn't going to happen. So, I got up ( Read more... )

Sunny and warmer today. Our high was 64˚F ( Read more... )

A sunny day, slightly cool. Our high was only 64˚F.

The new story is coming very, very, very slowly, because it's been a while since I've written hard SF, and since I'm actually doing science again, I'm a bit more aware of the...well, anyway. It's coming along slowly. And there's not a title yet. I've also done a tiny bit of work on MP1 ( Read more... )

Mostly sunny today. The return of the sun, after Ida, has been a relief. Currently, it's 84˚F, with the heat index at 85˚F. Our high was 86˚F, withe the heat index at 87˚F. Dog days done gone ( Read more... )

A bright and sunny day. We made it to 87˚F, I think. Then, just before dusk, a thunderstorm rolled in. It is now only 72˚F ( Read more... )

A very good day, and a remarkable day, that I actually cannot got into any real detail about. The weather, well, it was blah. We did get some sun, but also some thunder and lightning, and the high was only 76˚F. Providence is having highs in the 90˚F, and down here it feels like April ( Read more... )

Not a bad day. The weather was a little cool, but the rain seemed to have spent itself last night. We had sun. We had clouds. We had a high 71˚F. One day, it will be warm again. I mean Caitlín warm. 80˚F to 85˚F is the range within which I seem to thrive ( Read more... )

Green autumn, full tilt boogie. Currently, it's 73˚F. Our low last night was something like 51˚F. I sat and watched Harvey on Doppler radar, coming ashore twice, first at Rockport and then again at Coropus Christi ( Read more... )
